Vietnam Travel Tips on Luxury Hotels

Con Son Island in Vietnam was the sight of a penal colony in the Vietnam War, but that paradise lost has been regained with the opening of the Six Senses Resort & Spa on the island over 60 years later. Con Son is a part of the Con Dao archipelago which is set in a protected area of the South China Sea. Vietnam travel tips recommend this five-star resort for its luxurious yet unpretentious atmosphere.

The compound is made up of over 40 guest villas, each fashioned from planked hardwood and set besdie a 1.6 km beach. These bungalows are minimalist by luxury resort standards, but that is part of their charm. They seem to meld into the granite and greenery of the spectacular Elephant Mountain behind them, and every villa has ocean views and an infinity pool. There are also some swanky interior appointments like a fully stocked wine fridge.
